Maybe time I need to change my perspective on that.
What do you use as the wear point for the chain when you decide it's time to replace it? Iirc, isn't 0.1" the normal recommendation? By then, tho, wouldn't the cassette have seen too much wear and tear?
Thx and cheers.....
On my 11 speed chains, I get really nervous at 0.6% with a Park checker but the real mechanics on the board can give you a better answer, I’m sure.
Edit: I just checked and my chain by direct measurement and it,s at 0.05".
